If one thing’s clear about the Renters’ Rights Bill, it’s this:
Evicting tenants will be significantly harderonce it becomes law.
The abolition of Section 21 and fixed-term tenancies means landlords must use Section 8 to remove tenants from their properties.
As Section 8 notices rely on legal grounds for possession, courts have to process them; courts that are already plagued by delays. To make matters worse, investment in the system isn’t expected to help cope with this surge in demand.
As a result, the eviction process will lengthen significantly.
But what does this have to do with tenant reference checks? Well, with a robust tenant referencing process, letting agents can help their clients avoid the courts.
After all, reliable, high-quality tenants are less likely to breach tenancy agreements.
In this blog, we’ll explain how you can reinforce your tenant referencing processes so you can continue delivering quality services to your clients.
